Goodtrash Genrecast

Episode 316 of the GenreCast continues the marathon of The Man Called Keanu. Last week, we discussed River's Edge, this week, we're talking all about the 1994 action hit, Speed. Keanu is joined once again by Dennis Hopper, but Sandra Bullock and Jeff Daniels both appear as well. The high-stakes hit has a simple premise, which is executed well. After our quick reviews and syllabus expansion, we talk about suspense and thrills in genre, the masculinity presented by Keanu, commodification of people and much more. Tune in now to hear our thoughts on Speed.

Episode 315 is the kick off to A Man Called Keanu. We're going to be taking a look at the starring work of Keanu Reeves. Each week, we'll look at a different film from a different period of Keanu's career. This week, we start with the early days as we take on the Independent Spirit Award-winning River's Edge. This angst-ridden teenage thriller sees Keanu trying to come to grips with what is right in wrong in the face of a murder. We talk gender politics, teenagers in film, angst, Gen X and much more. As always, we expand your syllabus and decide whether River's Edge goes on the shelf or in the trash. Tune in now!

It's a post-snapture episode of the GenreCast. We hope you enjoyed last week's journey into the multiverse, but this week we're back on Earth Prime as Dalton, Arthur and Dustin take up the ladies' challenge of Super Mario Bros. The 1993 film is often discussed as one of the worst movies of all time, and a terrible starting point for video game adaptations. The boys have a much more positive reaction, often going to bat for the film. This week, we examine the film's politics, Daisy's role, adapting video games and much more. Tune in to see how we expand your syllabus and let us know your thoughts on Super Mario Bros.

In a multiverse far away, your hosts Alexandra, Erin and Kirsten tackle the 21st entry in the MCU: Captain Marvel. With only days remaining before Avegers: Endgame, your fearless hosts tackle the biggest movie of the year, to this point. The GoodTrash crew were very unmotivated to see this one, considering its the TWENTY-FIRST FILM in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The gang talks female friendship, how the film targets the wrong crowd, the problematic issues that arise in its attempted solutions, problems in the narrative, gaslighting and much, much more. Tune in now for this specially requested episode!

In Episode 312, the boys turn back the clock 20 years to talk 1999's The Mummy. The Brendan Fraser vehicle was a massive success spawning two different franchises. It also features Rachel Weisz in one of her first major roles—a great starting point for a wonderful career. Arthur, Dalton and Dustin have a great time breaking this one open. The Hollywood machine, consumerism and consumption, Brendan Fraser, movie franchises, homage and style are all featured talking points in this week's analysis of The Mummy. As always, we give you quick reviews and expand your syllabus with material to flesh out The Mummy. Tune in now!

Episode 311 of the GenreCast is brought to you courtesy of Patreon sponsor Keithan S. Keithan usually chooses some fun foreign picks, but he's been on a Jack Nicholson kick and threw us a curveball. Following up on our Women's Appreciation Month Marathon, Keithan challenged us with the problematic Chinatown from Roman Polanski. Polanski is a lauded director, and convicted rapist who fled the states to avoid prison. Keithan had this all in mind, wanting us to explore on the issues inherent to Chinatown. We talk film noir, auteurism, separating art and artist, Polanski and much more. We also expand the syllabus with some great materials for you to chase down. Tune in now! And if you're interested in how you can choose a movie for us, visit Patreon.com/GTM.  

We wrap up our Women's Appreciation Month mini-marathon with Agnes Vardas' Faces Places (Visages Villages). The celebrated documentary from Varda and visual artist JR is a buddy-comedy documentary. The two artists tour around the French countryside capturing the lives of those who make the world go round. We rarely talk documentary, so we have some fun talking form. We then move into the ideology of the work and explore the social elements at play. We also continue to expand the syllabus as we finally start to find our footing with the new format. Tune in now to hear our thoughts on Faces Places. 

The GenreCast continues to march through March and the Women's Appreciation Marathon. This week, we're tackling Penelope Spheeris' Wayne's World, starring Mike Myers and Dana Carvey. The popular SNL-sketch-turned-film was a cultural touchstone for many Gen-Xers and cusp millennials. And, we're making this a family affair as Dalton's sister, Carissa drops by to talk about one of the Stuart children's favorite films growing up. We crank it to 11, and drain all of the jelly-filled analysis from Wayne's World. Get into it! 

The GenreCast is back and we're joining in on the Women's History Month celebration. This week, we're taking a look at Mary Lambert's Pet Sematary adaptation from 1989. Stephen King's darkest novel made for a cult hit, but does the horror hold up after all these years? We find out. To help us through this, we invited along our very own Frightful Femme, Kirsten Therkelson. We also continue ironing out the kinks in our new format. So, all spoiler bets are off, and we're diving in to dig up the bones of Pet Sematary. Tune in now!

Episode 307 of the GenreCast sees the team returning to a normal schedule, at least for this week. Blade Runner has oft been tossed around as a potential subject for the show, and due to recent personal circumstances, it finally landed. Ridley Scott's Blade Runner is available in numerous formats, most notably the theatrical cut (with voiceover), the director's cut and Blade Runner The Final Cut. Blade Runner The Final Cut is the authorized restoration by Ridley Scott without the controversial voice over or Hollywood ending. During this week's episode, the team not only analyzes Blade Runner The Final Cut, but also shakes things up in presentation. It'll take some time to work out the kinks, but soon the show will be running like a well-oiled machine once more. Don't forget to rate, review and subscribe!

Scott Cooper's Hostiles Analysis Episode 306 is the end of our western marathon. The sun is setting and we're hanging the spurs up. To wrap it all up, we're talking Scott Cooper's Hostiles.

Cowboys & Aliens Analysis and Review Howdy, and welcome back to another episode of the GenreCast movie analysis podcast.

Intergalactic invaders arrive in the wild west to shake up life for a small western town. The cast features Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde and more.

We're back from our ocean cruise to talk the 1969 classic, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Our journey back into anti-trash is exciting as Arthur defends one of his all-timers from the crazed ramblings of Dalton and Dustin. Along the way, we talk American Folklore/Legends we want on screen. The gang opens up Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid to see what it's all about.

It's a massive episode 300 as we set sail with one of the biggest movies of all time, Titanic. James Cameron's landmark romantic epic was the first film to cross the $1 Billion mark, and it stayed at the top of the box office for a record 15 weeks. It was a pop culture phenomenon that earned 11 Oscar Wins and 14 Total Nominations. One of the most highly recognized films of the modern era, Titanic is a juggernaut in many ways. So, what bigger movie to celebrate 300 episodes with than Titanic. In honor of 300, we bring in voices from the past, including Alex Bohannon, Caleb Masters, Kirsten Therkelson, Heath Huffman and a supernatural appearance from Nick Sanford. We skip the game this week to fully delve into the material, we talk meme culture, try to analyze GoodTrash and the prestige that surrounds Titanic. Topics of gender presentation and class standings follow. We also make a special announcement about an upcoming giveaway you can be part of, so tune in and follow us on Twitter @Good_Trash for more inform
